Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The purpose of the study was to assess factor structure of Bosnian version of Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Th is instrument is a rating scale used for assessment of executive functions in children and adults of different ages and sample category. Executive functions are crucial for early development of cognitive and social capacities, which are very important for children with intellectual disabilities and very often serve as a basis of their future integration into society. However, benefits of well-developed executive functions, its relationships and effects to different aspects of life in this population, have started to be investigated relatively recently. Therefore, beside increasing knowledge about executive functions in children with intellectual dis ability, the study aimed to test feasibility and stability of BRIEF in this population with future goal of its application in schools for development of educational plans for children of this population. Th e sample consisted of 104 children with intellectual disability (62 boys and 42 girls) from 7 to 18 years of age. There were 49 children with mild and 55 with moderate intellectual disability. Th e BRIEF – teacher version was completed by 15 special education teachers of children participating in the study. The goal was to examine factor structure of 8 BRIEF scales: inhibit, shift, emotional control, initiate, working memory, organization of materials, plan/organize and monitor. Teachers were not considered to be participants, but only supporters of its implementation. Th e study confirmed original two factor structure of the BRIEF with 80.6% of total variance explained. It has shown that BRIEF is feasible and reliable in application with this population and it can be used for school assessment as a basis for educational planning and development of executive functions.
